The association between galleries and the women who run it is a recent one, no more than a decade old. "When Cymroza was established in 1971, it was the other way around. At that time, there were Pundole Art Gallery run by Kali Pundole and Kekoo Gandhy's Gallery Chemould. Jehangir Art Gallery, of course, was managed by the late S. S. Batliwala. Artists' Centre was run by K. H. Ara. I can't speak for others, but for me, a gallery became imperative so that I could bring art out of the art school and into the public domain."

Khareghat declined the honor on the ground that he would never be a party to the death sentence; he would rather not be a High Court Judge."
